Contenu
Originaux
HBO Max includes all originals shows that air on HBO like “Westworld,” “Succession,” “Euphoria,” “Barry,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “Watchmen” — as well as originals that are only available to Max subscribers.
Moving forward, it seems unlikely we will get many exclusives specific to the platform. All new content should air on HBO as well as HBO Max.
Séries TV
One of the big draws to HBO Max is that it is the exclusive home to classic comedies like Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Joining them will be The West Wing and streaming access to BBC shows like Doctor Who, Top Gear, and Luther.
The service has also snagged the rights to CW shows like Pretty Little Liars, Batwoman, and Riverdale spinoff Katy Keene.
Films
HBO Max is home to films released by Warner Bros., usually arriving on the platform 45 days from their theatrical debut.
You’ll see superhero films featuring Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. You’ll also get Scorsese and Kubrick films like “Goodfellas,” “The Departed,” “The Shining,” “A Clockwork Orange,” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
Thanks to the studio’s history, you’ll also have access to all-time classics like “Casablanca,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Seven Samurai,” and “Citizen Kane.”
For Japanese film lovers, HBO Max has acquired the exclusive U.S. streaming rights to all Studio Ghibli films like “Spirited Away.”

Enfants
HBO Max does offer some kids content, but it’s not as comprehensive as something like Disney+ or Netflix. It currently holds many episodes of “Sesame Street,” along with classic cartoons like “The Looney Tunes Show.”
Older kids may enjoy “Justice League,” “Batman: The Animated Series,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” and “Samurai Jack.”

For kids, you can create specific profiles. They will limit the content that the child sees, but also will disallow playback of certain types of shows and movies by rating.
To activate, you will set a PIN, which will allow you to unlock or change the restrictions.
Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix et Star contiennent des fonctionnalités de contrôle parental également.
Jusqu'à 3 appareils
HBO Max allows you to stream up to three different devices at the same time.
Téléchargements hors ligne
One major improvement over HBO NOW is that HBO Max allows you to download your favorite shows and movies to tablet and mobile devices. You will have to refresh content every 30 days.
Offline downloads isn’t available to those with HBO Max With Ads, so you will have to upgrade to HBO Max Ad-Free Tier to get access to download offline.

In most markets, HBO Max does not allow access to the service outside the United States — but you will be able to watch offline downloads.
